Biography

Nyph is a League of Legends player coming from Kirchheim unter Teck (not too far from Stuttgart), Germany. The first game he ever played was The Legend of Zelda (the first installment of the Zelda franchise). He would go on to play games such as FIFA World Cup 1998, Anno 1604, The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim later on), Warcraft III (mostly the custom maps), World of Warcraft and Dawn of War.

League of Legends Career

He would play Dark Age of Camelot and Counter-Strike: Source semi-competitively. One of the friends he made in Dark Age of Camelot, along with friends, incited him to try League of Legends. At first, he was reluctant - even skipping the opportunity to play during the beta. He would eventually start playing the game when Nidalee was released (end of 2009 / early January 2010). He would reach level 30 along with hitting the Top 500 milestone before Ranked games were installed.

At the start of Season 1, Nyph would ascend through the Ranked solo-queue ladder by playing mostly supports - which led him to specialize in the role. Nyph took his first step into the competitive LoL-scene by joining the German squad from Gamed!de, which today he considers "one of the best European teams" at that time.[1] They placed 6th at the Riot Season 1 Championship. One of the highlights of his career was beating then-SK Gaming during the qualifiers leading to that event.

He used to work as an electronics engineer while playing League of Legends professionally. He took the decision to go full-time in League of Legends in 2012.

Trivia

During his World of Warcraft days, he would start the names of his characters with "Ny". One of his characters was named Nyphen. That nickname would eventually be shortened to Nyph. His Counter-Strike handle was "Nyt".
